Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Son of a gun son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Have you seen the knight in a shining armor
Have you seen the guy who can walk the walk
Seven deadly sins number eight of wonders
Cause tonight is alright for fighting
And he fights like a son of a gun
Son of a gun aah aah
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Did you see the flash from the clash at midnight
Did you see the smoke at the tunnel's end
Every time he's back on the track it feels right
Every broken bone he can bend to mend
Cause tonight is alright for fighting
And he fights like a son of a gun
Son of a gun aah aah
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
Oh oh oh oh oh son of a gun
The lyrics to Bodies Without Organs' song Son of a Gun tell the story of a fearless, strong-willed protagonist who is unafraid to take on any obstacle or challenge that comes their way. The song compares them to a knight in shining armor, a symbol of bravery and heroism. The lyrics also reference the seven deadly sins, suggesting that this protagonist is not only brave but also flawed and human. The song suggests that this protagonist is someone who doesn't just talk the talk, but also walks the walk, and is willing to fight for what they believe in.
The chorus of the song, "Son of a gun," is a play on words, as it can be interpreted as either a term of endearment or a derogatory expression. However, in the context of the song, it seems to be used as an expression of admiration and respect for the singer. The verses describe the singer's feats of strength and bravery, from being able to bend and mend broken bones to fighting with the ferocity of a "son of a gun." The lyrics ultimately convey the message that the singer is a force to be reckoned with, and they won't back down from any challenge.
